- Hence, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
- Those who live according to the flesh fix their attention on the things of the flesh, while those who live according to the Spirit set their thoughts on spiritual things.
- The desires of the flesh result in death, but the desires of the Spirit result in life and peace.
- Those who live according to the flesh can never be pleasing to God.
- If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then the one who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.
- Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- For you did not receive a spirit of slavery leading to fear; rather, you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, “Abba! Father!”
- The Spirit himself bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God.
- I consider that the sufferings we presently endure are not worth comparing with the glory to be revealed in us.
- Indeed, creation itself eagerly awaits the revelation of the children of God.
- But if we hope for what we do not yet see, then we wait for it with patience.
- In the same way, even the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs that cannot be put into words.
- And the one who searches hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.
- We know that God makes all things work together for good for those who love him and who are called according to his purpose.
- What then can we say in response to all this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
- He did not spare his own Son but gave him up for all of us. How then can he fail also to give us everything else along with him?
- Who then can separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?
- No, throughout all these things we are conquerors because of him who loved us.
- For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. But without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.Next verse!With image
